Chapter 967, Church Arrangements

The next day, early morning.

Wu Heng opened his eyes. The faint light shone through the thick clouds, casting mottled shadows on the window lattice.

The sky was still as dark as dusk, with no sunshine and only thin skylight.

I got up, dressed neatly, and simply washed my face to drive away the sleepiness.

"Uncle, you're awake!" Xiao Xiao came in through the wall, greeted him, and said mysteriously, "Last night, my aunt kept asking about our affairs with the vampires. Is she going to harm us again?"

With so many experiences, a primary school child has become more cautious in doing things.

"What are you asking? Let me hear it." Wu Heng said.

Xiao Xiao stood by with her arms around her, recalling the past and saying, "She asked how I got here, what the other hero's strength was, and she suspected there was a conspiracy. Later, I didn't tell her, so she stopped asking."

It sounds like he's just curious about what these people have done.

Wu Heng said: "We must remain vigilant in the future. We must not let her succeed before she joins us."

"Got it!" A small salute.

Walk out of the wash room and go directly to the study.

Glenda and Bernie were both in the room. The queen also glanced over here, then looked away.

Wu Heng said, "We'll say goodbye to Lilith later and then go back."

"We can't help much if we stay here," said Glenda.

"Yeah." Wu Heng looked at the Empress, who, needless to say, went straight into the Demon Soul Pot.

He walked over and put away the magic soul pot, tablet, and books.

Open the door and go downstairs.

Lilith was already sitting at one side of the long table in the dining room, with the butler and several busy maids standing behind her.

Seeing him coming down, he said expressionlessly, "Let's eat first."

Wu Heng sat down on the other side and observed the other party calmly.

His face was still expressionless, but he could occasionally catch a glance at me.

"We'll go back soon." Wu Heng said.

Lilith nodded, "Okay, thank you for your help this time."

Xiao Xiao said at the side: "Did the headquarters team come here? They are so slow, otherwise we can go back together."

Lilith said: "The Blood Clan also has things to deal with. It will take some time to replace the internal personnel."

"Okay..." Xiaoxiao said helplessly.

She and Lilith get along best together, and since Lilith left Treasure Island, she can only watch TV at home.

Lilith glanced behind her and said, "I prepared some gifts for Xiaoxiao, it's a good opportunity for you to take them back."

"You're so polite." Wu Heng said.

The servant brought a square wooden box, and Xiaoxiao immediately flew up and looked inside.

There are finely crafted clothes, bat hairpins carved from moonstone, puppets with obsidian eyes, and lace handkerchiefs glowing with silver light...

These cannot be used by the soul, but are used on the puppets.

"Wow!" The little eyes lit up, "Thank you, sister."

"There's no share for me? I contributed as well!" Wu Heng asked while eating.

Lilith rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything. She continued chatting with Xiaoxiao about the materials in the gifts and the uses of some items.

After taking two quick bites, the tableware was collected by the servants.

Wu Heng took out a fixed-frequency radio and said, "When you go to Treasure Island, use this to keep in touch with us. You will feel more at ease."

Lilith had used the radio before and was familiar with it, so she nodded and said, "Okay!"

Wu Heng continued to take out two tickets, "Remember the side effects, your senses are affected, and eat according to the watch."

"I know..." Lilith continued to collect the tickets.

The two continued chatting for a while, and the time was almost up.

Wu Heng put away the small gift box, walked into the courtyard, and prepared to leave.

"Xiaoxiao, it's time to go." Wu Heng called out to the person behind him, "Wait until Lilith goes to Treasure Island, then you two can have fun."

"Got it!" Xiaoxiao agreed and quickly flew over and got into the body.

Glenda and Benny, who had been hiding, also returned one after another.

"I'm leaving..." Wu Heng looked at Lilith.

The latter nodded and said, "I will call you before I leave."

Wu Heng walked towards her without saying anything, and Lilith's eyes narrowed.

The butler standing at the back glanced at the two of them, then turned and left.

Wu Heng strode forward and, in front of Lilith's surprised gaze, put his arms around her waist, which was cold and soft to the touch.

"You..." Lilith's eyes narrowed and she said coldly, "You are getting bolder and bolder."

"We won't see each other for such a long time again. I'm starting to miss you now." Wu Heng said softly.

Lilith pushed the other person's hand away, and suddenly she lost all her strength.

Wu Heng lowered his head and kissed the other party's cold lips before he could react.

Lilith froze in place, her fingers tightly gripping Wu Heng's collar.

Wu Heng moved away slightly and said softly, "Relax a little."

Lilith also began to respond carefully.

After a long moment, Lilith bit the tip of his tongue, and when he flinched, she pushed him away.

"That's enough!" Lilith put her fingertips against his lips that were close to her again, "Don't push your luck."

Wu Heng held her hand and said, "I'll wait for you at Treasure Island."

Lilith pulled her hand back and swung the hem of her skirt. "Let's go. I have things to deal with."

Wu Heng walked back to the open space in the courtyard, put on the [conductor's hat], and the ghost train appeared in front of him.

He stepped onto the carriage and looked back, and saw Lily was also looking at him.

He waved again, the door closed, and the train disappeared from where it stood.

Only after the train disappeared for a while did Lilith turn around and return to her residence.

……

Treasure Island, church.

After morning prayer, the wood elf priestess Evelyn closed the missionary book in her hand, and her emerald eyes swept across the hall. The believers left with the distributed eggs.

She looked at everyone with an unspeakable helplessness in her eyes.

The residents of the island are still willing to participate, but the number of people who truly become believers and are willing to pray and confess to the statues is very limited.

More importantly, it is to get breakfast for the family.

Now it seems that I am afraid that I will disappoint the island owner.

After everyone left, the skeletons began to clean up, and Evelyn returned to the room, knelt on the cushion embroidered with the emblem of the Spiritual Enlightenment Church, and began to confess to the "Missionary Book".

This is a side effect of the magic item and must be performed every time it ends.

"I repent with a humble heart..."

After the confession, Evelyn put the book away.

The tip of my ear trembled slightly, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

The door opened, and Shannara walked in with her skeleton attendants.

"Elder Shannara." Evelyn saluted immediately.

Shannella nodded and asked, "Is the mission going well?"

Evelyn said helplessly, "Maybe eggs are more popular."

Shannella also knew the situation on the island and sighed slightly.

At present, the island is peaceful, but it has completely torn its relations with the Holy See and may face greater danger at any time.

"The islanders respect the island owner, but they worship living people as gods..." Evelyn whispered about the dilemma, "Unless the island owner can create a miracle that changes people's minds, it will take time after all."

Shannella said, "I will discuss this matter with the island master when the time comes."

Evelyn smiled and nodded.

Shannara continued, "The church in the Wood Elves' territory has been built. Twenty priests will be selected and assigned to go there. If there is an address near your home, you can arrange it directly."

"Yes, I'll give the instructions right away and pick them out in the next two days." Evelyn replied.

"Okay, you take a rest, I just came over to take a look." Shannara stood up.

Evelyn saluted again and Shannella left the room.

……

The scenery outside the window reappeared. After the ghost train stopped, the door opened with a metallic collision sound.

Wu Heng stepped off the train, his feet sinking into the soft sand, and the sea breeze carried a salty taste.

Release the three ghosts.

Xiao Xiao cheered and said, "We're home!"

Granda said, "It's still Treasure Island. It makes people feel comfortable."

"No wonder Lilith either lives in the headquarters or in Treasure Island." Benny also said.

The three ghosts were discussing in the air. Wu Heng identified the direction of the city and said, "Let's go back to the island owner's mansion first."

【Teleportation】 is released and the figure disappears.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived at the courtyard of the island owner's mansion.

"Master!" The catwoman 'Robe' who was pruning the branches shouted in surprise.

Run first and throw yourself into his arms.

Then, Minnie and Philippa also ran out from the gate, gathered in a circle and hugged him and acted coquettishly.

Wu Heng patted the heads of several people and said, "Okay, let's go into the house first."

Several people entered the living room together. Wu Heng sat down on the sofa. Minnie brought her some cold tea. "Master, has everything been resolved with Chief Lilith?"

Wu Heng picked up the teacup and took a sip. "She can handle the rest by herself. She doesn't need our help."

Robbe sighed, "I remember when Chief Lilith came to the island, she seemed so strong and powerful. Now she needs the master's help."

Minnie also said, "Not every hero can defeat the Church."

"Yes, the master must be the reincarnation of God." Robe continued to praise.

Wu Heng asked, "Where's Shannella?"

"Sister Shannella is out. Do you want to call her?" Minnie asked.

"No need, just wait for her to come back." Wu Heng nodded.

Ta Ta Ta Ta~!

As they were talking, there was a sound of running at the stairs. Xiaoxiao controlled the puppet and ran down from upstairs two or three steps at a time, "Sister Minnie, Sister Philippa, Sister Robey."

The three of them also smiled.

Xiao Xiao continued, "Uncle, where is the gift Sister Lilith gave me? I want to go upstairs and try it."

Wu Heng took out the brocade box, held it in his arms, and ran upstairs again.

Soon, he changed into a vampire-style dress.

Wearing a black hairpin on her head, she ran down from upstairs, "Does it look good?"

"It looks good!" Wu Heng, Benny and others also smiled.

Chatted with the maids downstairs.

So he went upstairs and called Andvier to confirm the situation over there.

……

At dusk, at the dinner table.

Shannella and Annette, who was in charge of the town hall, also sat around the table.

Wu Heng explained the situation of the Bleeding Blood Clan in more detail.

Shannella said, "The churches in the Wood Elves' territories have been built, and the priests will be selected in the next few days to go to those churches."

"Really? You can just make the arrangements. Then ask the wood elves if they need help. We will try our best to help in any way we can." Wu Heng said with a smile.

Improving faith is still my main goal.

The church over at the Wood Elves' side has been dealt with, which is a good thing.

"Well, I'll ask then." Shannara continued, "Avelyn said that the church's missionary effect is not that good. If we continue with the usual methods, the number of believers will increase slowly."

Wu Heng opened the panel and looked at Faith.

【Faith: 105/50000.】

In fact, the increase is quite significant.

The last time I looked at it, it was still 27 points. After some time, it has risen to 105.

The daily missionary work and the victory over the Vatican fleet this time did bring considerable influence.

It's just not that obvious.

"I'll take care of it." Wu Heng said.

"Okay!" Shanara nodded.

After dinner, several people went to the training room to train, while Wu Heng released the teleportation spell and went to the database mansion.

At this time, the mansion was dark and the skeletons were sitting in front of the computer typing on the keyboard.

Wu Heng walked over and said to the skeleton investigator in charge: "Arrange two skeletons to follow me to the church to install the smart speakers."

The Skeleton Investigator nodded, left and came back, followed by two Skeletons in orange vests.

This skeleton is responsible for equipment installation.

Wu Heng used teleportation and arrived at the church with the skeleton.

Entering the church hall from the back door, Evelyn came towards him, "Master Island Master."

"Well, take me to the prayer room, I'll install some equipment and teach you how to use it." Wu Heng said.

There was some confusion in Evelyn's eyes, but she still led them to the prayer room that had never been open to the public.

……

When we returned to the island owner's mansion, it was already completely dark.

After a simple wash, he pushed the door and walked into the bedroom.

In the dim room, only the bedside lamp was on. Shannella, wearing a light blue nightgown, was leaning against the bedside, reading a book.

The loose shoulder straps hung down on one side, revealing her crystal collarbone and most of her fair and round face.

"Are you back?" Shannara looked up.

"What book are you reading?" Wu Heng closed the door.

"Just take a look at the books about painting." Shannara closed the book and placed it on the bedside.

Wu Heng hung his clothes aside, crawled into the quilt, held her slightly cold hand, and brought her into his arms.

Their breaths blended together, and a pair of smooth legs were wrapped around their waists.

Shannella hummed softly and turned off the bedside lamp, plunging the room into darkness.

……

Early morning, Treasure Island Church.

After the daily morning prayer, priest Evelyn began to pack up her belongings.

Someone looked at the smiling priest and asked, "Priest Evelyn, is there something good going on? Why are you so happy this morning?"

"Good things? Of course there are."

Everyone took the distributed eggs and asked quietly, "What good news is this?"

The Wood Elf priest smiled, held the Missionary Book to his chest, and said, "The prayer room is now available. If you have any questions, you can get guidance from the island master."

The crowd was a bit noisy.

A somewhat obese woman asked in a puzzled tone, "The island master wants to answer it personally? How can he have the time..."

There are so many people in the hall. Even if the island owner is tied up here, it is impossible for him to answer so many questions.

Evelyn still maintained her smile, "It's a holy site! Of course, there's no need for the island master to be here in person. I'll take you there."

Everyone became even more curious and walked towards the prayer room, carrying the eggs.

……

town Hall.

The [Teleportation] magic circle had just disappeared when Wu Heng had already stepped into the corridor of the City Hall.

"Master!" Annette trotted over.

After Andvier went to Rentam City, the work of the City Hall was handed over to Annette. After all, she had been learning for a long time.

I understand the process here.

"Where are the people?" Wu Heng asked.

In the morning, Annette called and said that a necromancer had come to the island. As soon as the island's spy sent the information over, the other party took the initiative to come to the city hall and wanted to visit Wu Heng.

It is quite rare to find such a polite necromancer.

Wu Heng was also curious about the other party's purpose of coming to Treasure Island.

"I'm waiting for you in the conference room!" Annette led him inside and said, "He's accompanied by an attendant who looks like a skeleton from his movements."

Wu Heng nodded and walked halfway.

Xiao Xiao passed through the wall and flew back from the other wall. "Uncle, that person is level 18, with a skeleton by his side, and a bone frame behind his armor."

"What level is the skeleton?" Wu Heng asked.

"Level 15, not high!"

Wu Heng continued to ask: "Are there any ghosts?"

"I didn't find it. Maybe it wasn't released!" Xiaoxiao said as he floated along.

Soon, they arrived at the door of the meeting room.

Annette pushed open the door and Wu Heng walked straight in.

There was a figure sitting behind the conference table. He was tall and thin and wearing a cloak. Behind him stood the skeleton servant of Xiao Xiaoshuo, wearing plate armor and a hood covering his face.

Seeing Wu Heng coming in, the other party looked up and down, then stood up and introduced himself, "Island Master Wu Heng! My name is Kurt, on behalf of the Endless Desert and the Immortal Monarch, I bring you the most sincere greetings."
